This isn't as ragebatey as polygon tries it to be. Nintendo, like every other console publisher, is requiring for years a subscription for online features. This is just another feature in the online plan.
Yes, but... did this really need to be a totally separate button? Couldn't this be something added to a settings menu or an overlay that you can access with another button that does not just have a single paid function?
I don't mind there is a subscription to online features necessarily, but a dedicated button for something you won't want to pay for and use is just silly. Like all those Netflix buttons on TV remotes.
Was there this much of a fuss around PlayStation's "Share" button?
The share button doesn't require a subscription. It captures footage and stores it locally for you to freely do whatever you want with.
